Modern Weapons Cheat in Another World

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Two AC - 130s and three F - 15E strike eagles flew over the forest in the vicinity of the borders of the Monsters Alliance and Elzas Magic Empire calmly in formation.

"Grattney 01 to HQ, arrived at the designated airspace, requesting instructions."

Two AC-130 (call sign is Grattney 01 and 02) made a sortie out because the infantry unit of Parabellum who undertook the task of crushing the base position of the imperial army, which was secretly made in the forest, was struggling and requested for air support. They are escorted by three F-15e equipped with AIM-9 side winders of air-to-air missiles and AIM-120 AMRAAM (Viper platoon), and arrived at the designated airspace, Grattney 01 is the commander in contact with the HQ.

"HQ Roger. We will now connect the radio to the 8th Infantry battalion at war with the Imperial Army on the ground. Until the end of the Support Mission, Grattney 01 and 02 will act on the instruction of the 8th Infantry Battalion. I wish you luck, over."

"Grattney 01, Roger."

"Grattney 02, Roger."

When the communication with HQ ceased, communication accompanied with gunfire entered Grattney 01.

"This is Lieutenant Morrison of the 8th infantry Battalion. There are a lot of casualties because of the fierce resistance of the enemy. Blow the enemy's position marked with smoke!"

"Grattney 01 Roger."

Grattney 01 and 02, who received a request from the 8th Infantry battalion engaging the imperial army which had built the base position in the forest, went to support them.

And when waiting for the coordinate designation from the 8th Infantry Battalion, a number of red, green, purple and other conspicuous color smoke began to climb into the forest.

"This is Grattney 01. I have the coordinates of the target. We are initiating Close Air Support. Beware of stray bullets."

"This is the 8th infantry battalion, evacuation has already been completed. Do what you want!"

After the response of the 8th Infantry battalion, three types of shell falls on the ground from the two AC-130s which began turning left around the garish looking smoke.

The gunner who is boarding the AC-130 sends a glance at the black and white screen that reflects the appearance of the earth through an infrared sensor, and moves joystick which manipulates the direction of the cannon. And when the appearance of the enemy soldiers is displayed in black and white, the trigger was pulled.

Dokan and a deadly 105mm howitzer gun hit the middle of the base built by the imperial army. The crimson flame and black smoke dance, and the soldiers who were there completely erased from this world.

Then Don!! Don! As if drums were hit, artillery shells shot from the 40mm cannon were lucky to hit the magic weapons and blew them up.

When a unique motor driving sound echoed around, the 25 mm Gatling gun bullets licked the ground and pay the trembling trees and the soldiers of the Imperial Army that had fought bravely a visit.

And by the time the 130 of the two aircraft finished the third turn, the Eighth Infantry battalion had struggled and the imperial army's base was extinguished without a trace, and a forest with many thin trees was going bald like burnt out.

After that, the forest became burnt and the enemy soldiers were out of sight, so they paused the close air support and confirmed the presence of the enemy by the 8th Infantry Battalion.

"This is the 8th infantry battalion, annihilation of enemy soldiers and enemy positions confirmed. Grattney 01, 02 Thanks for the support.

"Grattney 01 Roger. Ending close air support. Returning to base

It was at that time when the two aircraft of Grattney 01 and 02 received the report of the 8th Infantry battalion which confirmed that the base of the imperial army had disappeared, and aimed at the Dales base with the nose after the mission.

"Whoa! What?"

The voice of a panicking soldier of the 8th Infantry battalion was heard from the radio communication that had not been cut yet.

"What's the matter?"

When the captain of Grattney 01 responded to the voice and asked the 8th Infantry Battalion, the response was somehow returned from the escort's biker platoon.

"From under, 5 battleships and numerous Dragon Knights are rising!! Break! Break!""

The captain of the Grattney 01 heard the report, the escort Dragon Knights of the five ships that was expertly subjected to the surface of the line to look at the ground has been flying.

"Chi!! This altitude is bad!! Engine Full Throttle! Ascend!"

"Engine Full Throttle! Rise!!"

"Grattney 01 to HQ!! Spotted flying ships and numerous dragon knights! Requesting reinforcements ASAP!! Repeat."

The captain and the co-pilot push the throttle to max and tries to forcibly rise by relying on the engine with increased propulsion power, while the communication crew were requesting reinforcements.

It was discovered by the 8th Infantry Battalion approaching and attacked by the AC-130. The five battleships was lurking near the base position hit, one of them moved towards the imperial territory in the air as it flew up in the sky, and the dragon knight escorts went out the flying ship and try to persistently attack AC-130, which had come down to low altitude to do. 

"Viper platoon, weapons free! Leave the flying ships, those dragon knights are your top priority!"

"Roger! Viper platoon 2 engaging!"

"Roger! Viper platoon 3 engaging!"

However, the three aircraft that are the escort of the AC-130 began to attack the Dragon Knights when the external fuel tank is immediately dumped and the nose becomes light.

However, due to the unprecedented development of the flying ship and the dragon knight appearing suddenly from the very bottom, the Viper corps who fell into close combat struggled due to the difference in relative speed etc, but succeeded in eliminating all Dragon knights without having to put one scratch in the AC-130.

"End of Battle! Gather"

[Roger]

The Viper Platoon, which attained the annihilation of the Dragon Knight, is assembled under the two AC-130 and had been asked to join the trail formation.

"News of each aircraft"

The captain of the Viper corps asked.

[This is Viper 2, cannon residue 0, air-to-air missiles 0]

[This is Viper3, cannon residue 0, air-to-air missiles 0. Is the captain still there?]

"I'm out of ammo."

However, it was good that I engaged the dragon knights with the highest priority to defend AC - 130, but the bullets were exhausted and the flying ships remained intact.

"…… Don't run away."

"Yes. But somehow the crisis seems to have been avoided."

Listening to the story of the Viper corps exchanged on the open channel, the Captain and co-pilot of Grattney said while watching the battlefield and escaping.

"What happened to the reinforcement request?"

"Yes, I told them to send reinforcements as soon as I heard that the battleship came out, but will probably not make it in time. By the time the rescue unit arrived here, the ship is already deep in the imperial territory. "

"...... It's annoying to let them go."

Listening to the story of the communication crew, a mysterious light shines in the eyes of the Captain of Grattney 01 who was staring at the battleship ship with a stupid face.

"…… Please stop it, don't say anything strange."

The co-pilot, who was aware of the light of his eyes, calls to reprove the captain, but his voice was blocked.

"Oh, I decided! From this we will have Grattney 02 to engage the enemy line ship with shelling war!


――――――――――――



"Oh, I decided! From this we will have Grattney 02 to engage the enemy line ship with shelling war!

「…… Hey!? You're going to do gunfire in the air!! In this aircraft!? 」

During the sound of the engine, the crew was surprised at the words of the captain, who was informed through the radio on the helmet they were wearing.

"The captain is going to do a lot of crazy things. Do you want to engage enemy more?"

"I'm not going to do a bombardment in the air like that."

"It's a good first experience."

"I'm not happy!! Such a first experience!!"

In the AC - 130 's cabin, everyone seemed to be complaining and grumbling but everyone was preparing for combat according to the commander's order.

"Captain... Are you sure you want to do it?"

"I'll do it."

There was no way to lend an ear to the word of the co-pilot, and the captain said that while becoming oppositely opinionated.

"I understand. Let's do it. …… Enemy ahead at 11:00, distance 4000, getting off in a single vertical position"

The co-pilot, who realized that the captain was not the same, shook his head and calmly switched heads to inform him of the ship's position.

"Alright, turn left after adding a blow in the same cruise, take it in anti-cruise"

"Roger that."

"With the smile of a naughty kid just the captain came up with a good idea while looking at the line of five ships that are running away with a straight vertical line that is conveniently too good.

"...… Hey, fire the flare."

"What? Why?"

"It's paper."

".....Ah, it is certainly best for a bicycle rider."

"Please inform Grattney 02 as well."

At first, the co-pilot, who couldn't understand the captain's intentions, came back with a simple and clear answer when he asked the pilot why the flare was emitted.

And together with the timing Grattney 01 and 02 shoots flare at the same time and was surprised by the sight that makes you feel some sort of divinity even though the enemy ships' formation has collapsed a bit.

"That scared me."

The captain said, grinning and laughing.

"The remaining distance to the enemy is 500 meters!! Line up!!"

"Whoa, all battle preparations ready! We will do a shelling operation from this!! Put up!"

『『『『Roger!！ 』』』』

The captain, who returned to me on the report of the co-pilot, blasted the crew. And the unprecedented aerial bombardment of the AC-130 began.

"The left artillery bombardment ready! …… Shoot!"

Under the captain's command, shells were shot one after the other from the two AC-130s towards the flying battleships.

"How!"

First two 105mm shells were shot from a distance of 300 meters, but they were swept away by the wind.

"Just because that bullet was swept away... This much... ?？ 」

"Ora, ora, ora! Fall down!!"

However, as a result of hitting a bad number of guns in succession, the 40mm machine gun and 25mm Gatling gun rounds that were scattered all the time hit the gun deck and mast on the side of the hull, and unfortunately for them, the 40mm cannon cannon hit base of the mast. The mast was broken from the root due to a direct hit and the battleship that lost propulsion became unable to navigate.

Moreover, it suffered from the the fire caused by the incendiary rounds of the25mm Gatling gun at the hull everywhere.

A similar fierce attack was also applied to the other battleships sailing, and the Imperial Army fleet was annihilate after two AC -130s passed.

The last ship (5th ship) lost its mast and went down while burning in midair. The 2nd and 4th ship were hit by the 105mm howitzer, burned up in the form of a fireball and disappeared. The third ship was hit by the 40mm cannon, the hull was full of holes, ruptures occurred in various places, the hull crashed to pieces and fell apart at the end. The first ship sailing ahead had its gunpowder hit by the 25mm Gatling Gun and gradually dropped down to the ground in flames with repeated explosion.

"No need to flip."

"Yeah."

Grattney 01 and 02 returned to base with the F-15e in high spirits as the first to attempt air-to-air bombardment in history. The AC-130 stopped to look at the devastation of the Imperial fleet ending in a one-side game.

Finally, the Imperial Army (unit which can take organizational action), who was in the Ghost Coalition(T/N: don't know what this is) at the end of this fight, was wiped out.
